Quotes on Destiny and Fate
It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny. -Jean Nidetch
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
-William Jennings Bryan
No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.
-Agnes de Mille

-Sir Winston Churchill
Ideals
are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands,
but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose
them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
-Carl Schurz
Real,
constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your
destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental conduct produces power for change
in your life. Develop a train of thought on which to ride. The nobility
of your life as well as your happiness depends upon the direction in
which that train of thought is going.
-Laurence J. Peter
To
accomplish our destiny it is not enough to merely guard prudently
against road accidents. We must also cover before nightfall the
distance assigned to each of us.
-Alexis Carrel
Young people have an almost biological destiny to be hopeful. -Marshall Ganz,
Our
problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can
be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human
beings. -John F. Kennedy
Man is asked to make of himself what he is supposed to become to fulfill his destiny. -Paul Tillich
I
like coincidences. They make me wonder about destiny, and whether free
will is an illusion or just a matter of perspective. They let me
speculate on the idea of some master plan that, from time to time,
we're allowed to see out of the corner of our eye.
-Chuck Sigars
The
best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems
are your own. You don't blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the
President. You realize that you control your own destiny.
-Albert Ellis
Great
people and great athletes realize early in their lives their destiny,
and accept it. Even if they do not consciously realize the how, the
where, the what.
-Percy Cerutty
Just
because we've been dealt a certain hand, it doesn't mean that we can't
choose to rise above - to conquer the boundaries of a destiny that none
of us wanted. To try to retain whatever essential humanity we can.
-Stephenie Meyer,
Twilight, 2005
Watch your thoughts,
they become words.
Watch your words,
they become actions.
Watch your actions,
they become habits.
Watch your habits,
they become your character.
Watch your character,
it becomes your destiny.
-Unknown
No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made. Destiny is made known silently.
-Agnes de Mille
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
-Shakespeare
There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny. -Schiller

Greetings!
Our website is now popular in 56 countries, and India has become our second most popular. I find it amazingly eerie how we are all so similar as souls. Despite our culture differences, it seems we all have the same basic challenges to evolving our souls.
This newsletter talks about destiny without even mentioning the word. I notice a coincidence between souls that believe their destiny is predetermined, and the problems they have as they tend to take passive action creating their paths of destiny.
A man that does not believe in destiny,
does not need to know what his destiny is. He creates it.
-Laura Moncur
Creating better versions of yourself, through your relationships, is not an exercise in being passive. Anything you want takes a strategic investment of your energy.

What is The Universe?
by Jordan Canon
This website makes repeated references to "The Universe" as a source of creating paths of destiny. In my spiritual correspondence with people all the world, I have noticed many different meanings of the term, which is fine. Understanding how to create new paths of destiny begins with understanding how the Universe works.
We are not here to tell you what to believe, we are here to hopefully give you a something to think about, and improve the process by which you decide what to believe. The joy of evolution is that only you can evolve your soul, and you accomplish this great purpose by what you believe.
The dictionary definition of "The Universe" is a term I like to call complexly-simple. The universe is simply everything that exists. This includes all physical objects, and non-physical things relating to those objects such as thoughts, dreams, emotions, souls, etc.
That was the simple. How do we connect the dots from the exact point of time you first came to this website, to a point of time in the future you wish to create? Your universe, or all that exists for you, has to be modified for you to achieve the future you desire.
Changing The Universe
At one point in time, all the humans on our planet knew the Earth was flat. Thanks to Christopher Columbus (a Virgo) we learned the world is round. The Universe changed.
 Of course we know today, the earth is an oblate spheroid, a rotationally symmetric ellipsoid having a polar axis shorter than the diameter of the equatorial circle whose plane bisects it. The earth is not round like a penny, but shaped more like an M&M. Did you still believe the earth was round? In your universe (your version of what exists) it was,
just like the earth was flat at one time, or Pluto was a planet. For the rest of your life, you will remember the earth is not round. You may not remember exactly what it is, but you will remember it is not round, and shaped more like an M&M. Good for you! You have experienced evolutionary growth of your soul by the spiritual process we teach at our website.
What is The Spiritual Universe?
The secret to creating new and exciting paths of destiny is understanding just how much power you have when you create your universe. I am going to switch to a new term called environment.
Let's say your environment is a mini version of your universe. It is where you live, your relationships, but most importantly, it is the results of all the decisions you have ever made, multiplied by the amount of energy you invest in them.
Your soul cannot evolve without relationships. The universe has provided you with an environment of relationships. Your soul mate, your pets, your car, and your dwelling, all represent parts of your environment. They also represent all your decisions, and all of your efforts. You don't have relationship issues because of what is in your environment, you have issues (or successes) because of your choices, and your dedication to the choices you make.
Think of the universe as a giant and sophisticated computer program that does only one thing: It create relationships for your environment. Like all computer programs, the universe doesn't care what you choose to create. It doesn't judge you, and it doesn't have a memory. It doesn't care if your life is great, or your life is in turmoil. It doesn't predetermine your destiny, and it doesn't choose anything for you.
Your soul is here to evolve, and only you can evolve your soul. I can't evolve your soul any more than you can evolve the other souls in your environment. The universe is nothing more than a tool to help you accomplish evolution of your soul.
 Garbage In, Garbage Out
The universe is going to create your environment, whether you want it to or not. It has to so it can maintain the human concept of time. Everything you do, think of, will, as well as everything you don't do is energy the universe uses to create the your environment.
You create the relationships in your environment by your own choice, the universe creates the outcome of your relationship by the quality and quantity of energy you invest into it. Why does it seem bad things happen?
I like to use the example of going on a diet. You can change your environment (your body weight) by going on a diet. When you follow the rules of Spiritual Growth, you would have to invest the type of energy to lose weight as follows:
* Which diet will you go on?
* You will have to create a plan for your diet.
* You will start, and stick to, your diet to achieve your goals.
Your success in changing your environment (body weight) is totally based on your ability to learn and the amount of energy you invest in changing your environment. The Spiritual Universe created a body that allows you to be able to accomplish, or create this path of destiny. It doesn't care what you weigh, or what you will way. It only provides a means for you to create better versions of yourself.
This also includes the energy of Temptation. Why is it so hard to diet? Why don't we all have perfect, healthy, beautiful bodies? The ultimate deciding factor of your soul's evolution is entirely up to you, and the choices you make.
An Oblate Spheroid of Charitable Souls
Ironically, "oblate" has another meaning outside of mathematics and the M&M shape of our earth. It also means:
A person offered to the service of, and living in a monastery, but not under monastic vows or full monastic rule. A charitable soul.
Somewhere in outer space, I hope other civilizations refer to our planet as an oblate spheroid of charitable souls. Maybe the universe, in its infinite wisdom, shaped our planet as a clue for our spiritual purpose of evolving our souls.
Love and light,
